Breast Health

Learn the top 5 preventative tips to reduce the risk factors for Breast Cancer.

The breasts, chest and heart center are the physical metaphor of giving and receiving.
Join a supportive community, as we honor this fierce, courageous journey of the heart. 
Through deep ritual, guided meditation, prayer, yoga and community, we reclaim the symbol of nature’s abundance and nurturing qualities. Open up YOUR sacred space to allow self to move beyond the confines of our separate consciousness.
Taking time for ourselves is the 1st step! We'll replenish with easy, slow, gentle movements. Focus on the heart center to deeply heal, restore, & nourish.
♥Appropriate for all stages/skill levels♥
  
 If inclined, please bring journal, a sacred object, photo or personal memento to add to the ritual altar.

Seasonal DeTox

This is the 1st in a series. Specifically designed according to the current or upcoming season.
We'll be blending Yoga with Chinese Medicine Five-Element Theory

Seasons come with specific rhythms and in Oriental medicine each season will represent parts of the body. FALL corresponds to the element of metal and represents the organs of the lungs, large intestine and the skin. It’s about letting go of grief, old attachments and emotional baggage.  

This is the time to organize your life for the winter season ahead and for coming more inside your body and mind to reflect on your life.  This workshop has an energetic focus & is designed to help you shed unnecessary layers—mental, physical, and spiritual. All levels are welcome to celebrate the change of the seasons and bring out your radiant inner self.
